Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Banana Bread

In my quest to cut back on processed foods, I have been making my own snacks to carry with me to work.  I started with these Peanut Butter Granola Bars and then these Granola Truffles.  I am happy to report that I have not purchased store bought granola bars so far this year!

Since I had two very ripe bananas sitting on my counter top, I thought I would try this peanut butter banana bread.  It did not disappoint.  The bread was moist and very flavorful ~ love the peanut butter banana combo.  The addition of the oats sprinkled on top gives it a little extra crunch.  I'll definitely be making this again!
